Yesterday, I ordered a DF-700.
However, since my work is probably different from most, I didn't find the Tenon Assortments (8+10mm and 12+14mm) particularly appealing.
Rather than end up with a bunch of short tenons that I might not use and Systainers which I don't need, I ordered the 750mm uncut tenon stock and the individual bits. I worked it out and found that by going this way, I was getting 105% more tenon stock for 80% of the cost (including 1/16" kerf wastage).
Here's a link to my Green and Blue spreadsheet.
There's some more information about why I decided to order the DF-700 on my blog.
